Football fans across India are preparing for Lionel Messi's historic three-day GOAT Tour starting December 13. The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner will be joined by Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez and Argentina's Rodrigo De Paul, both now reunited at Inter Miami. The tour begins at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium, followed by Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium (December 14) and Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium (December 15). Organizers are attempting to bring Neymar Jr. for the Kolkata leg, potentially recreating Barcelona's legendary MSN trio. Events include fan interactions and a children's motivational session featuring Messi's iconic skills. Tickets are selling rapidly, with ₹3,850 passes already sold out.
